@Claudia. No system bets for me today. Rain and flooding playing a part! However, for giggles, I have: 4:40 York Philipine Cobra 7.4 / 2.56 Pass The Gin 4.5 / 1.91 I'm done... {image}
Philipine Cobra won at 9.0 (Pass the Gin was 3/4 L away from a place).

There's another version they play live at Slane which is awesome as well.

Have a brilliant weekend everyone and I'll see you all again on Monday once I get back from being a vet transport in the am.

Cheers, folks, it's been grand.

@ Hickson - here's my sheet for next week with a few changes. The sheet itself needs putting in a more logical format but that's not a priority - all the information needed is there. The range stats for previous week are still there just blanked out.

Gone back to ignoring Sunday/Monday. So the stats for the break out range are based on a 4 day average. Got rid of the ADR it wasn't serving any purpose.

Added target win/loss/be + based on historical stats and interestingly comes out at 19.5 gain - weekly target was 20.

Have slightly altered the min/max range - this is now a % of the 4 day average which is sort of logical. Have reduced t/p and s/l slightly.

All this will be fully automated and it's actually becoming simpler as time goes on. Nearly there - mmm think I said that in January !

Next - going to spend some time on ssbo. The two systems/strategies are very similar. Main difference being one is based on times the other on range. Can't be difficult to incorporate a range break out into Dreams - in effect it's already there.

Any comment/thoughts be pleased to receive.

It's a great song, no doubt.

The vet thing is no big deal, I just act as transport for my mate's cat as she gets her 6 month tune up. She really, REALLY, doesn't like the box and so as the one with the decades of cat experience, I get to do the deed!

Makes a lot of sense, Claudia. Skipping a day without clear edge, less risk, risking 1 for 2. Max DD will be interesting long term. Anything more than 8-10 percent (1 percent per trade) is usually a big no. I have tested several swing strategies on software like forex Tester, result was always the same: Great on historical data, max DD8 percent over 1000 trades, more than 10 percent soon in live.

But this is different now: only one pair and one TF the result should be consistent, testing live and demo. Takes longer but results are closer to real life. Same for cable. Best month for me was last october, when the trend was strong. Defining what to do in range/chop/no trading is key for me, can get there in a few months. As you have seen I added some EMAs for visualisation which makes it a bit easier to figure things out.

Have a family event today, already loaded the SSBO stuff though. Hopefully get some screen time tomorrow. Could go on until september like this, after next week I am trading some cable again, but only from 14:30 UK until it chops for the time being ...

Meanwhile excited for what F. comes up with. He surely has the skill to make it fully automated.

You guys are taking a holiday this summer?
Fix up, trade sharp ...

Ok here's final sheet very simplified. Settings will obviously change daily.

Currently re-writing the spec for the ea to include my take on ssbo. Might end up being two ea's but would be good if could all be in one. Any input appreciated.

Was in contact with the programmer yesterday just keeping him up to date.

No holidays planned. Friend wants to go to Vegas - great idea but there is a huge problem lol. Billy knows the answer.

Dax, same with dax, my 00-00 5 minute range . i like to have a several hour gap.
in reality if i were awake i think (not 100%) i would of Longed it, This would of Failed too.
that would be probably first time in 2/3 months.

It seems i know when to sleep, lol
Trade well.
